The tubing is flat of course, and comes in 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" widths. I haven't tried larger than 1/2" yet. So a 1/2" piece will slip over a cable about 3/4" in diameter. Shrink ratio is 3:1, so the 1/2" tubing should shrink down to about 1/4" diam. -- Ralph On Aug 4, 2022

If you have ever wished for a nice way to label wiring in a cnc machine project, you should consider printing on heat shrink tubing. I just bought a used Dymo LabelManager 160 for $21 on ebay, and several heat shrink label cartridges for about $5 each (for a 5ft roll), and it makes beautiful wire
